I'm used to being able to change user's passwords as root using the
"passwd" command on my main server (this was with NIS and the master
shadow file kept on the server).  Now with FDS, I get:

# passwd orion
Changing password for user orion.
Enter login(LDAP) password:

and I must enter the password for the user "orion".  This gets tricky
when the user has forgotten their password.

Is there a way to avoid this first check and allow root to force a
change of the password?


The answer is to set rootbinddn in /etc/ldap.conf and put the directory manager password into /etc/ldap.secret.
